Review on Camco 40083 Faucet Adapter Lead by Joseph Stone

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad design. Stuck in the hose, it is impossible to unscrew it.

that I bought so I could fill the kids inflatable pool with my kitchen sink (the pool was outside on the deck but the kitchen sink was much closer than our only working water faucet outside). When I put it on the faucet and connected the hose, it leaked. Ultimately this worked for me because I could still fill the pool without pulling the house from the front of the house to the back. The problem is that these are two small ones (too short) and as soon as you put it in the faucet and then screw the hose to the faucet, the adapter keeps screwing into the inside of the hose. Unscrewing the hose only unscrews the hose and adapter from the faucet and there is no way to unscrew and pull it out of the hose. Thus the hose could not be used again on a normal spigot as the adapter got stuck inside. My husband had to use the hose in the garden and tried to remove it with needle nose pliers, now the adapter won't fit over the sink or comes off the hose rendering the hose and adapter useless. With some hoses or faucets, this may not be a problem. But it was definitely for us. So about 4 times I was able to use it before we tried taking it off so we could use the hose elsewhere, all worked fine. It leaked and wasted water but I was able to do the job I needed it for. But now we need a new hose and adapter. Next time I'll look for a different design.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
